John M. Moseley

I was sad to hear of John's passing this past Sunday. My prayers and sympathy go out to the entire family.

I have fond memories of John and his brother Jack when we were boys playing Little League Baseball in the early days of the Hardee County Little league around 1960-61.

In those days my brother, Frank and I had a great time competing against John and his brother Jack in these summer baseball games. We knew that we had to play our best as very few batters were able to get on base, much less get hits when John was pitching.

John was certainly one of the best pitchers in the league in the two years that we had the privilege of playing against him.

If I'm remembering accurately, these were the first two years of Little League Baseball in Hardee County, either ever, or after a period of time without any Little League play.

Either way, the league didn't have an end of the season League Allstar Team to play against other Allstar teams across the state of Florida as the league hadn't existed enough years. John certainly would have been on this type of team.

I know that John will be missed, but the fine person that he was will remain with us all of our lives.

With kind regards,
